At 20 years old Erling Haaland is already regarded as one of the most prolific forwards in the game. His record in professional football is hard to overlook and he has rarely demonstrated any signs of weakness.
That’s what makes the Norwegian forward so frightening. Haaland just doesn’t show any signs of stopping or slowing down.
Having just turned 20 years old in the summer, he has well over a decade left at the top and he will probably be one of the leading candidates to take on the mantle from the Ronaldo and Messi hegemony in the coming years as the two superstars fade from the top.
First Time Finish have an interesting profile on Haaland. The website interviewed the scout who first discovered the Norwegian and he brings beautiful insight into the psyche of Erling Haaland. Some of the quotes and stories remembered by John Vik makes for a great read and it is one of the reasons why Erling Haaland could be the perfect candidate for Jurgen Klopp.
Erling Haaland is the epitome of a player Jurgen Klopp looks for in terms of character. He is calm, cool and collected on the pitch. He exudes coolness when he is off it. His witty remarks have made him a fan favourite on social media and working alongside Klopp could bring the best out of him.
The Norwegian forward is made for the Premier League too. He has the bulk and the muscle mass to survive the hustle and bustle nature of the league and the speed to thrive in the fast-paced environment of the division.
Just imagine Haaland linking up with the likes of Jota, Salah and Mane at Liverpool. It would be the stuff of dreams and defenders’ nightmares.
One has to hope, Salzburg’s sporting director was right about his claims.
Who would you rather sign, Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe?
